I appreciate your input, however, my question addresses a specific situation
that some of you may have encountered in practice
It is such practical experience I am interested in
Let me rephrase
I was not very clear/accurate in describing my query
Have you encountered a situation, in industrial practice, in which an
organization developing software following an agile methodology
has to comply with a safety standard which has specific requirements on the
software development process? A typical example of
such safety standard, with respect to its requirements on the sw-dev, would
be IEC-61508 Part 3 or DO-178

Subject: Re: [SystemSafety] Agile methods
Definitions always differ among the users of terms. But if the Agile methods
being considered do not start with a complete and thorough specification of
all the system/software safety requirements before anything else, then the
system resulting system/software design will almost surely be less safe than
one that does. Whether it coincides with other standards (most of which are
very deficient with respect to safety) is not really important, is it?

Dear all,
Do any of you have practical experience with reconciling established agile
software development with software safety requirements (e.g. IEC-61508 or
DO-178..) ?
Best regards,
Rene
